I watched a video portraying a skinny beaut being body-shamed by a group of boys. It was really pathetic.
So this is me putting myself in her shoes.👇



The voices keep echoing now and then
Tearing me apart voilently as if with razor
They were shrieking "Dry bones shall rise again"
And i wanted nothing but to disappear
disappear into the wind, never to be seen again.


I felt so light like a feather hovering in the air
And was trippin', stumbling one foot on the other
I tried so much to be strong,
biting hard on my lower jaw
Trying so hard to keep focus on my pace
but it felt like i was slipping off the surface.


Of course, they have no idea how this feels
how their words cut deep like a blade
how their words make me suck inside out
how these words suck all my light
and shuttle me away
into the dark loop of my insecurities.
